Professional Strengths
Del Dickson is an MSW intern at Unified Family Therapy, offering a unique blend of legal expertise and therapeutic training to support children, teens, and families. Before pursuing his Master’s in Social Work at the University of Utah, Del had a successful career in family law, focusing on adoption, surrogacy/assisted reproduction, custody, divorce, and sensitive family matters. His child-centered, family-focused approach to these legal issues has informed his transition to social work, where he continues to serve families in a supportive, therapeutic capacity.
Experience and Education
With experience as a Special Assistant United States Attorney and as a Law Clerk for Hon. Dale S. Fischer in the Central District of California, Del has an extensive legal background that gives him a deep understanding of the complex dynamics families face, particularly in high-conflict situations. His legal work, which included handling complex civil cases and employment-related disputes, further enhances his ability to navigate difficult family situations with empathy and care.
At Unified Family Therapy, Del combines his family law knowledge with evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help families navigate challenges, build healthier relationships, and foster emotional well-being. His commitment to understanding the unique needs of children and families makes him a valuable resource for those seeking support in resolving conflict and improving family dynamics.
Del lives in Millcreek with his husband, Kirk, their two daughters, and their two dogs. Outside of his professional life, he enjoys skiing, traveling, and cooking.
Personal Invitation
As someone who has spent years working as a family lawyer, I understand how deeply conflict and transitions can affect families- especially children. At Unified Family Therapy, I now bring that experience into a therapeutic setting, combining legal insight with evidence-based approaches to help families heal, grow, and reconnect.
I’m passionate about supporting families through difficult times and helping them build healthier, more resilient relationships. Every family is unique, and I’m here to listen, understand, and guide you towards solutions that truly fit your needs.
If you’re looking for compassionate, experienced support, I invite you to reach out. Let’s work together to create a path forward for you and your family.
